Founding Engineer

What we're looking for

We need a frontend-leaning full-stack engineer with 2–8 years of experience who has shipped polished consumer web applications and has a deep understanding of performance, reliability, and complex application state. You should be comfortable working in a small, fast-moving team alongside founders from Apple, Google, and leading crypto firms, and have strong product judgment — not just how things look, but how they work and feel in a user's hands. Bonus points if you've built trading products, fintech platforms, or anything with real-time data and charts.

What you'll do

• Own and lead development of Fuego's consumer web trading platform — a stock market for professional athletes
• Build fast, intuitive trading and portfolio experiences that make onchain settlement invisible to sports fans
• Work directly with cofounders Austin (ex-Dragonfly, Arbitrum) and Jacob (ex-Apple, Google) to shape the product and technical roadmap
• Drive frontend architecture decisions across a service-based stack, managing complex application state and real-time data flows
• Help design APIs and transaction flows that bridge the gap between blockchain infrastructure and a seamless user experience
• Contribute to a culture of high ownership and velocity as a true founding team member with meaningful equity (1–2%)
